Chapter 3: Can you say "weird"?

BPOV:

Edward was hunting, I was not. I wasn't hungry and he was just going out for a quick "snack". I was bored and missing him. It had only been ten minutes and he plus Alice and Rose would be gone for another three hours. And to them this was fast! Oh well...I still had Emmett and Jasper to keep me entertained. After my little "birthday" party Carlisle and Esme went out of the country for a few months. They called it their, um, tenth honey moon...I think. And here I was. Alone and Edward-less. Now that is depressing...

"Bella?" he said.

"Huh?!" I screeched, and spun around faster then most people drive.

"Damn it Emmett! Don't scare me like that." I said, a little breathless. Which was not as uncomfortable as it should have been, if I was still human. Oh how I loved my new life!

"I'm sorry. I was just...um, ah...bored yeah, that's it, I was bored!" he stumbled over the words. Why?

"Well Emmett your going to get lucky!" I said, and he jumped a bit then sat down and crossed his legs.

"Um...wh...what do you mean?" he said. This man was acting strangely...odd.

"I was bored too. But now we can find something to do." I answered.

"Oh...of course yeah. Well what do you want to do?" he asked.

"Hmm...we could play some video games."

"OK that sounds good."

Emmett and I headed downstairs and he hooked up the X-box. We decided to play Halo. (me love dis game!!)

"Emmett..." I started to ask why he had been acting so weird when Jasper appeared and sat next to me on the couch. Emmett was sitting in the arm chair.

"Oh hey Jasper!" I said.

"Hello Bella." he replied, sorta intense. "Could I speak with you upstairs?"

"Um..sure. I'll be right back Emmett." I told him.

Jasper and I ran up the stairs and into his room. He closed the door behind him...curious.

"So, what did you want?" I asked.

"You look beautiful Bella." he said.

"Well...um...thanks" I replied hastily.

"You don't understand...Bella I am starting to...feel things for you. At first it was only small feedback from Edward but then Emmett started to feel the same way and now it is amplified by three. I know that I love Alice, and I told her what was happening but I don't know what to do. Every time I see you I feel the awkward need to jump you in the most wrong of ways. Edward understands to a degree but I don't want to tell him about Emmett because Rose doesn't know and Emmett has been singing Spice Girls constantly in his head to keep Edward out. At this very moment Edward is withing emotion reading distance and Emmett is shooting lust at me like freaking daggers and I am about to loose it. Please don't get offended..."

And before I could comprehend and make sense of everything he was saying his lips were on mine, moving roughly against them. Instantly I pushed at him and he backed away quickly.

"I am so sorry Bella." he said, ashamed.

"Wait just one second...you are telling me that Emmett is falling for me?" I asked, not believing him just yet.

"That's right. And since I am an empath I get the love and lust form the both of them, Edward and Emmett, and then it screws with me." he said, "I am so sorry."

"Don't worry Jasper. It really is ok but don't let it happen too often. I love Edward. Why doesn't Emmett realize that?" I asked.

"Emmett is an idiot and wants what he wants when he wants it. If you understood that at all.."

"Yeah I did. So that is why he has been wanting to hang out with me so much. And has been acting so weird...hmmm" I trailed off.

"What? What are you thinking?" he asked.

"Well you love Rose right? And if she found out she would be crushed...soooo. We have to get Emmett for what he is thinking. Toy with him a bit. But the only one we can tell is Alice so that she doesn't tell Edward. Can you get her on bored?"

"Sure." he said.

"Good! Lets do this partner." I said, shaking his hand.

"This ought to be interesting..." he said.

"I'm counting on it." I chuckled.
